Customer Reviews

Kate Morton became a favorite as soon as I opened her first book

Some reviews have given low-star ratings due to multiple timelines and intricate character development. That is what I find so fun about Kate's writing style. I love the way she jumps around time, back and forth between then and now, before bringing everything together so smoothly. The Forgotten Garden was my introduction to Miss Morton. The Secret Keeper is my favorite so far. I'm finishing The Clockmaker's Daughter now, and just received Homecoming as a gift. Excited!
